One of my favorite songs, I haven't heard this song since i was so young and happy. Tears won't stop falling

Beautiful rendition!

Hunting song and sad yet pretty

@jonscul I think the song's lyrics have changed as it has been passed down through the ages. I've noticed differences in the lyrics depending on performers too.

This is a very old story, often called "The Twa Sisters" or "The Two Sisters", which exists in many different versions with different melodies. I've heard a version set in England called "The Bonny Bows". According to an article on Wikipedia, there are Scandinavian versions of the story, and even one as far afield as Hungary. A haunted fiddle or harp seems to be an idea with some staying power.

Press 5 for "Oh the wind and the rain".

I think this arrangement is Jody Stecher's. His version was reworked and rearranged considerably. I love how this song has become so popular with so many different interpretations
-
Not that unusual, the story is called "The Cruel Sister" (among other names), it's quite widespread.
-
Fortunately, this ballad - or versions of it - is widespread in the Germanic world. There's versions of it as far up as Finland, and most assuredly there are versions sung in Scotland.
County Clare ain't Scotland.

I felt very strange making this video, bit it drew me in and it had to be done. Paul & Kim Caudell really make it come to life...

Ever since I heard Paul & Kim sing this song at Alabama Fronier days, I knew I had to make this video. Thank you
